Branding and Visual Identity: Wyre Case Study

Ad

Wyre is a branding and visual identity project shared by Ramotion ✪ on their Behance profile. It's really nice to see the process behind the constructioon of this visual identity system and how some decisions were made during it. Wyre is an enterprise-level API which allows companies to instantly send funds worldwide without taking on any price volatility and for a fraction of the cost. The ultimate task was to re-brand Snapcard as Wyre and design a dynamic branding language yet reflecting a trustworthy and stable feeling.

Brand Attributes

Each process starts with an understanding of a product's uniqueness and value.

To help a client figure out core values that need to be reflected in branding, we do an exercise with attributes. We brainstorm and write down as many attributes as possible and then select a few items that work the best.

Branding

We quickly found a few promising directions. Next, we spent time exploring a few selected directions, testing them to make sure our final decision was justified.

After all testing and discussion, we made a important decision to evolve the direction with a stack of cards. This option had the best potential and reflected the logic of how the product works. This is the most crucial moment in each visual identity process.

KKAW is a branding and architecture project shared by Amanda Rybicka. It's a simple, yet elegant example of a visual identity construction focus on typography to create a strong brand. We said in the past that for some reason the architecture subject gives to designers the opportunity to simplify forms and explores reduction like any other industry.

Creating a branding system is always a intricate process, it requires a lot of thinking especially on how to make things look as they are part of a family, sometimes some varitions look better than the other but the overall look and feel should remain familiar. The work that Andrea Alati and Simone Mariano is a great example. The project is titled HITALK - Dynamic Brand Identity and it's awesome to see how they play with the isometric grid and the different variations of style and colors.

We are looking at a brand identity project by Laszlo Polgar and team for the Mosoly Otthon Foundation. Together, they went through the process to create a logo and packaging work on products that would have been on sale in profits on the non-profit organization. What I liked a lot about this project is the use of drawings made by the autistic people and branded through the identity and products. It creates quite a personal touch that is hard to go unnoticed.

It's time for more visual identity and branding inspiration. For this post today I want to share the work created by Predrag Milankovic for FFFactōry. It's definitely heavily inspired by the classic Swiss style with bold typography, simplicity and organized grid system. I also love some of the accent colors that they used, like the bright green/teal. Check it out and also make sure to visit their website.
